Just in time for Father’s Day, Netflix will release Fatherhood, a new film—based on a true story—starring Kevin Hart as a widowed dad raising his daughter. The first trailer just dropped and, fair warning, it’s a bit of a tearjerker.

The film is based on the book Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss & Love, according to Today. In the book, author Matthew Logelin shares the crushing experience of losing his wife shortly after she gave birth to their daughter, Maddy, as well as the ups and downs of raising her and honoring the memory of his wife. The film brings that story to life with Hart playing the role of Matt.

In the trailer, we see Hart’s character grappling with grief after the loss of his wife—and facing the anxiety-inducing prospect of raising his infant daughter on his own.

“If you could have had only one parent, I wish you could’ve had your mom,” he says to Maddy at one point. “She would’ve been better at it.”

But he doesn’t give up; instead he faces the challenges of solo parenting head on. From diaper changes to stroller mishaps to trying to get Maddy to fall sleep, he does his best to learn on the fly and be the best dad he can. He also enlists help from his friends, who provide some key sartorial support (maybe a baby sling can look good) and reinforcements at nap time (unfortunately, a cappella singing doesn’t convince Maddy to stop crying).

Check it out in the trailer above.

In addition to Hart, Alfre Woodard, Lil Rel Howery, Paul Reiser, Anthony Carrigan, and DeWanda Wise also star in the film. Fatherhood will premiere on Netflix on June 18, 2021.

After a long delay due to COVID-19, A Quiet Place Part II—the sequel to the 2018 original starring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt—is finally about to make its debut in theaters. Judging from the latest trailer and Q&A video released today, it’s going to be a high-intensity nail-biter. That crazy bus stunt we glimpsed last year was just the beginning.

The new film takes place a few years after the events of the original and includes some familiar faces: Emily Blunt returns as Evelyn Abbott, and Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe reprise their roles as her two children. While the first film focused solely on the Abbott family, the sequel takes a much broader view, and the trailer hints at a dangerous journey the family must take and new characters they meet along the way, including one played by Cillian Murphy.

John Krasinski, whose character (Evelyn Abbott’s husband Lee) dies at the end of the first film, still has a role to play in Part II—he’s directing.

In an accompanying featurette video (see above), Krasinski and Blunt offer a few more clues about what’s in store with the sequel. First of all, it’s clear that it’s full of edge-of-your seat suspense, and that was a big reason for the delay in releasing it. As Krasinski puts it, the film deserved nothing less than the big screen.

“It was always designed for a theatrical experience,” he says.

While A Quiet Place had a tiny cast and focused on just one place, Part II goes way beyond the Abbott family farm.

“It’s such an inspired sequel,” says Blunt. “The world expands in this one.”

And if you loved the first film’s jumps, scares, and excruciating suspense, you’re in for a treat with the newest installment. According to Krasinski, Part II doubles down on the tension—which should make it even more fun to see in a theater full of people.

“It’s a much scarier movie,” he says.

A Quiet Place Part II hits theaters on May 28.
